Taking without end some of his principle substances will have a colossal effect on the reality star’s life, a source uncovered.

Notwithstanding being miserable in the body that he is in right now, Kardashian is said to have been anticipating his stay in rehab. He is determined to pull through and begin a new life once he successfully completes the treatment program, well aware that he is almost turning thirty and certainly does not want to continue living a depressed life by then.

Since the news broke that the socialite had entered rehab, Kris Jenner has firmly denied the reports, although it is believed that the momager is doing so in order to prevent paparazzi from lurking around the facility. Jenner is said to have been very supportive over her son’s decision to seek help, having famously spoken to a therapist on KUWTK, where she explained her difficulties in seeing her son lock himself away from her. “I feel like if I don’t help [Rob] do something drastic, he’s gonna die,” she explained.

He has effectively separated himself from the family’s reality show, trusting that once he returns home from his stay in rehab, he will have all the protection he needs to further his recuperation. The family’s bond will get much more grounded, a source concluded. Kardashian entering rehab for weight gain and drug-related problems will see the star leave the facility as a better man.
